To begin with, I interviewed my mom’s friend Justine. Before this interview I already knew her and what she did for a career, and I knew it would be a great idea to interview her since she’s a General Pediatrician and I also strive to be a Pediatrician for my future career. Justine is a very happy, caring person. She always has the biggest smile on her face and always the best attitude, with someone like that it makes you feel good as well because you don’t want to be with someone that is negative about life 100% of the time because that would just put you in a worst mood. She absolutely loves her job as a Pediatrician, and she always about how great it feels working with little kids, watching them grow, and also giving them the ability to
For this assignment, I interviewed my mother Elaine Meskouris. Director at Evlavia Doulavarous Preschool in Flushing, NY. 1. Me: So Mrs. Meskouris, why did you become a preschool director?
I thought it was super nice for her to inform us that it is important for first time parents to take classes on how to take care of their child. Nursing is essentially important because depending on how we take care of our children with determine the future health of the child. For example, she shared with us Mckenzie’s schedule which is, first thing in
Day two clinicals. This day went so much smoother. I had the same two patient as the day before and one got discharged and I got a new patient. I feel like my second day I had an amazing relationship with my one patient. I got her to eat a little more that day because I knew what to talk to her about.
She was very warm and eager to teach me all about her craft. I learned a lot in the two days I worked with her. There was never a dull moment and I got to see so many different patients; patients of different backgrounds, ethnicities, age groups, and gender. All my initial fear was basically fear of what I was getting myself into.
She has served as a role model to me of not only compassion, but of showing respect and love to anyone, no matter their circumstances. I have experienced firsthand the horrors and miracles of this profession. In 2011, I was able to see through a patient’s eyes when my Uncle was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Standing by through dozens of rounds of chemotherapy, watching the deterioration of muscle and memory, it was excruciating, watching a man I had known my entire life being molded into someone new by this cancer. Those years of watching my uncle fight through chemotherapy inspired my dreams to become a person who can help those that are in pain, to heal their wounds and to be able to tell a family that their loved one will make it through the
My partner Giovanna and I first went to a building downtown near Bayside. Where there is a lot happening from one place to another. This structure had thirty-nine floors and it was called the One Biscayne Tower. The elevators were super-fast and frightening. It felt as though we were riding the Tower of Terror at Disney.
Lauren Brooksby is Resident Assistant for 2nd floor New Heritage building 29. Not only is she a beautiful person inside out but she is also a great RA- someone that us residents greatly respect and love.
The classroom that I did my lessons in was a third grade classroom at Diamond Lake elementary School. The children in the class were eight and nine years old and the teacher was named Miss R. The classroom was set up with many individual desks that were grouped in groups of 5. Four of the desks faced each other and the last desk on the end faced the front. This week, I had a great opportunity to re-interview my host teacher about how she thinks I did this semester.
This year, I experienced both a personal and academic obstacle that correlate with one another. In January, I started the year long Medical Assisting program at my school. Prior to beginning this program, I was so excited to be getting a medically centered education, and learning about the field I wanted to expand my career in. After entering the program and learning that there is so much more to medicine than just taking care of patients, I began to lose my interest. This was shocking to me since, my whole life up until this year, I believed I was going to become an amazing medical doctor.
Simone Van Iderstine was 16 years old when she became pregnant with her first child, Eve MacKinnon. Eve was an accident, she was not supposed to be a result of what happened that night at the party. The first person she told when she found out she was pregnant was Jessica MacBeth. Simone then had to face what she would find the most stressful out of the whole pregnancy; telling her mother, Tanya O’Connor Flynn. Tanya was not very happy with that news.
My passion for healthcare lies with patient care. I enjoy taking care of patients and their family. I have chosen to become a family nurse practitioner because I can combine nursing and medicine to provide a higher level of care to my patients. As a nurse practitioner will be able to make an impact on my patient’s health through, health promotion, disease prevention, managing acute and chronic conditions and improving patient’s health (Wynne,
When we are babies we did not see the world as black or white, we all look alike. We don’t realize that we are divergent until our parents tell us otherwise. As we get older we realize that we do not look alike. Our identity, personality, and self-esteem began to develop. We become influence by our surroundings and other social issues.
Work with children Throughout my high school and college years, I have had several experiences with children that have all played a part in shaping my love for working with children. During high school, I spent two summers nannying for two young school aged children. Working with these siblings really made me realize how much fun I have working with children and watching them grow. Once I came to college, I started another babysitting job working with two four year old twin girls.
She talked to me about all the ways music therapy was used, and all the clients it was used with. She opened up a whole new perspective to me, that involved much more than just children. I learned music therapy was used with Alzheimer patients: something my papaw had struggled with for a long while before he passed away. It made me think, if it could help with memory, it could have helped my mamaw who struggled with her memory when she had bleeding on the brain. Knowing that music therapy could have helped many of my family members, it made me respect the program even more, and lead me to where I am
These questions overwhelmed me until I remembered why I was doing this – to make a positive difference in patients’ lives. Over the next three weeks, I learned to interact with Robert on a personal level. Following my first visit with Robert, he asked me if I will see him next time I am at the hospital, and I promised I would. We learned about each other’s lives, and I was now more confident and better able to communicate with him. As I look back, my interaction with Robert taught me about values important to him– autonomy, companionship, and creative expression.
